Dont think its my headgasket but what else could it be? Ive heard that a bad tchain cover can also cause this. Any suggestions?

it can be the liquid gasket failing where the water pump is in the timing cover. hole in right side of this picture is where coolant flows. if sealant fails , coolant goes into oil
